Fun Stuff

Trivia:
"The Fourth Kind," is a reference to scientist J. Allen Hynek's famous categories involving the sightings of UFOs. Close Encounters of the Third Kind also referred to this scale. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: In the film, there is a sheriff and deputies that provide police service to Tyler's home. This is wrong, as Nome has a police department. Also, there are no Sheriffs in Alaska because Alaska is the only state that does not have counties. more

I went to see this with a friend last night due to the fact i've seen pretty much everything that's out at the minute. At first i was a bit hesitant about watching this but afterwards I definitely had a different perspective.

The use of "real" (i'm pretty sure i spotted a couple of goofs with that, most names of characters in the dramatised version being mentioned and later omitted) alongside the dramatisation was a great concept and definitely helped to highlight that this is based on (albeit unconfirmed and subject to opinion) true events.

Some of the scenes were definitely powerful enough to make you question the possibility of "The Fourth Kind" and the basic premise is extremely interesting.

Worth watching if you have some time to kill and fancy a bit of a philosophical debate with yourself.

P.S. it was hilarious watching some peoples' reactions during the "jump" moments. One girl in front of me must've left her seat by at least 4 inches. Genius :)
